What Daemion Counseling means to me: “Daemion serves the Tredyffrin-Eastown community where I grew up, went to school, and raised my family. I cannot think of a better way to be involved in my community than by working to strengthen Daemion Counseling Center’s ability to reach and help members of our community in need. It is gratifying to further DCC’s ability to effectively uncover and foster solutions for people who are challenged with mental health issues or difficult life circumstances, so that each person we help can unlock their own personal path to living richer, more fulfilling lives.

What Daemion Counseling means to me: “Life is full of ongoing challenges, with wins and losses. To fully understand what it means to live means experiencing both the wins and the losses, and, everyone sometimes needs help with going through the tough times. Not everyone has their own support network in place to help them through life’s challenges, and this is where Daemion excels. I truly believe Daemion offers that extra support to help members of the local community with life’s challenges and fills a much needed role at the grass roots level.”

What Daemion Counseling means to me: “As part of my primary occupation it has been necessary to obtain a general understanding of human nature and some of the common difficulties that people may exhibit. I was astounded to find out how large the proportion of individuals in the United States that suffer with mental health issues. Statistically we all live, work, or interact with or know someone that has some sort of mental health concern. The toll it can take is incalculable, as the price of happiness is limitless.

Daemion Counseling provides the much needed service to our community, often at a greatly discounted rate. The organizations mission is nothing less that righteous. Their ability to help those in need is truly noble and I am proud to be part of the good work that they provide to the public.”

Free Time: Spend time with family, going to lots and lots of my three children’s basketball and lacrosse tournaments, and cross country meets; going to the gym, yoga, reading, and continuous learning about mental health

What Daemion Counseling means to me: “There is nothing more important than our health, and certainly our mental wellness, yet there are so many who struggle with various types mental illness. I am lucky to have a good health care plan, but I know there are many who cannot afford the help they need and deserve. It is my wish to make sure that everyone who struggles with mental health gets the kind of professional help that can make their lives better. It is an honor to be associated with Daemion Counseling Center. They provide an inviting place, where helpful and affordable counseling is available for those who are in need. My dream would be to see centers like Daemion everywhere. Nobody should suffer alone. There is help, and there is hope.”

What Daemion Counseling means to me: Mental health is such an important factor in one’s day to day well-being and it’s only now just starting to be discussed broadly in society. As someone who places a lot of weight on how one’s mindset can impact their lives, I was drawn to Daemion because the organization has great people who do great work for others and provide access to a service individuals could otherwise not afford. My hope is for everyone to know about Daemion and how much it can benefit their lives!
